| | | | | Years ago, when my wife and I were first learning to sail, we spent a lot of time sailing around in dinghies.
The Orange Coast College of Sailing and Seamanship in Newport Beach was our school. With dinghies we learned the sailing basics, how a boat feels under sail, and how to react to those sensations.
Tipping the boat was also part of the course. And by capsizing, aspiring seadogs like me had to figure out how to get the boat turned back over.
This exercise contained other lessons too such as how far we could push the boat before it tipped over and, probably most important of all, that the consequences of tipping over are not as severe as you might think.
It’s a drill that pushes the comfort zone boundary. Pushing that boundary helps craft a more confident sailor.
And that boundary was where my wife drew a sharp, bright line…
